ASTROLOGY OF NOW

The solar energetic switch from 'highfalutin' Sadge to 'chief-executive' Cap is an epic moment indeed—another critical turning point in our celestial calendar, where the universe hollers "enough is enough—shit’s about to get really, really real"....

The Sadge war cry of "let me be me" could, on the surface, seem to be a noble plea for personal freedom, yet under the illusory currents of Neptune in Pisces (2011–2026), it has metastasised into a cunning shield for moral evasion, selfish indulgence, and the fracturing of once lucid, authentic truth.

Absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch.

As MERCURY gears up for its retrograde through Sagittarius, the sign of expansive beliefs, cultural motifs, and grandiose aspirations, it prompts an overdue recalibration of what we hold as truth.

We're in it; this is it. It doesn't stop now; it just rolls on, shift after shift, until you let it go, come to the moment and become baptised by its need to rebirth you, over and over, until you become thoroughly unattached, transparent and pure...
